Chapter 606 Tianxu Compatibility
"Hmph, it's none of your business!"
No one could detect the spiritual communication between Yu Yue and Qing He.
But when they saw Yu Yue, the protector, whose attitude was completely different and who was even a little too close to Chen Beiwu, Yu Zhaohua, Su Miao, and Yue Shan all felt a jolt in their hearts.
Especially Su Miao, the True Monarch of the Rainbow Clouds, looked at Chen Beiwu with undisguised astonishment.
She came from an extraordinary background and had close ties with the Tianyuan Zhou family, one of the four great Daoist immortal clans of Yuqing. Naturally, she was well aware of the revered status of Protector Yuyue within the sect.
It should be understood that although the Fifth Realm Demon Lords are powerful and considered top-tier figures in the Immortal Alliance, not all Demon Lords are qualified to serve as protectors of the Jade Purity Palace.
Moreover, through the background behind her, Su Miaozhenjun vaguely heard some rumors and knew that the energy behind Protector Yuyue was terrifying, and that it could even be related to the supreme and transcendent existence of the sect.
It was precisely for this reason that Su Miao maintained a gentle smile throughout her wait in front of the Jade Purity Hall, daring not to show the slightest disrespect.
As a result, when Protector Yuyue appeared in front of Chen Beiwu, she showed an innocent smile and enthusiastic behavior like a child, as if a real dragon had fallen into shallow water and transformed into a loach and fish playing with shrimp.
Such great favor was simply unbelievable to the well-informed and knowledgeable Su Miao Zhenjun!
"Could it be that Protector Yuyue has taken a liking to Chen Beiwu?"
Upon considering this possibility, Su Miao quickly composed herself, her gaze filled with a hint of awe.
Even among those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage in a sect, very few can catch the eye of Protector Jade Moon.
The fact that Chen Beiwu is valued by Protector Yuyue suggests that the rumors are true. His reputation for being a talent for refining the Void is not just a result of the sect's second-generation flattery, but is indeed real!
"Is this the treatment for a peerless genius?" Yue Shan, the Mountain Moving True Lord, thought with some emotion.
People of the same kind may have different fates, and umbrellas of the same kind may have different handles.
Despite being a peerless True Monarch of the Immortal Alliance, he had visited the Jade Purity Palace dozens of times over the years, yet he had never received special treatment from the two protectors, Azure Crane and Jade Moon.
When he first led Chen Beiwu to the Yuqing Hall to meet the sect leader, Protector Yuyue already showed a different side, treating Chen Beiwu with great affection.
Now it's even more outrageous; Protector Yuyue doesn't hide it at all and openly shows her favoritism towards Chen Beiwu in front of everyone.
Yu Zhaohua narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the Jade Moon Protector, whose head was covered by Chen Beiwu. Suddenly, the words her mother had spoken years ago came to mind:
Ordinary cultivators, after undergoing hundreds of tribulations and a thousand years of seeking the Dao, can only reach the pinnacle that the peerless geniuses of the Immortal Alliance can achieve with a mere step!
In the past, Yu Zhaohua could not understand her mother's words, thinking that the ordinary cultivators of the Immortal Alliance were too stupid and lazy, far less hardworking than herself, and unable to wholeheartedly pursue the Dao.
After all, even if a person is not very smart, surely they can learn the simplest way to cultivate immortality and comprehend the Dao?
But seeing this scene before him, Yu Zhaohua suddenly realized that it wasn't that ordinary cultivators weren't persistent or hardworking enough, but rather that in the face of some rare and extraordinary talents, persistence and hard work were utterly insignificant.
Even though she possessed an innate Dao physique and never slacked off in her daily cultivation, she still couldn't get Protector Yuyue to even glance at her.
At the same time, noticing the sudden warmth and softness, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but raise his hands, his eyes showing helplessness, and greeted Yu Zhaohua and the other two.
He cultivated the Primordial Immortal Technique, and his physical strength far surpassed that of a True Monarch of the same realm. However, even under the protection of the Jade Moon Guardian, he was somewhat unable to hold on.
Chen Beiwu even suspected that Protector Yuyue only needed to use 30% more of her strength to crush him to pieces and cause him to suffer comminuted fractures and organ failure.
"Buzz!"
Just then, the gates of the Jade Purity Palace opened, and the Sect Leader appeared.
"Alright, Protector Jade Moon, if you keep carrying her like that, she'll practically disappear from your arms," the sect leader teased.
Although the sect has many Nascent Soul stage experts, it is still far from being comparable to the Five Great Grotto Heavens.
As the head of the Jade Purity Sect, from a strategic perspective, he naturally hoped that Protector Jade Moon could form a co-cultivation contract with Chen Beiwu, so as to cultivate a powerful cultivator at the level of a giant in the sect.
Unfortunately, Chen Beiwu had lofty ambitions and could even refuse the Jade Moon Protector.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yue promptly released her hands and took a step back.
That hug was both a way for her to assess the depth of true meaning within the cycle of reincarnation and, through skin contact, to determine Chen Beiwu's level of understanding of the Great Dao of Life and Death Reincarnation.
"So? Is Chen Beiwu the reincarnation of the Book of Reincarnation?" Qinghe's divine sense teased.
Yu Yue glanced at Qing He but didn't say anything.
Through skin-to-skin contact, she discovered that Chen Beiwu had mediocre talent in the path of life and death.
If Chen Beiwu were to abandon the Primordial Immortal Technique in the future and instead cultivate the "Great True Text of the Upper Void Reincarnation Cave," his aptitude would likely not be as extraordinary as that of someone who cultivated the Primordial Immortal Technique.
If she were Chen Beiwu, she wouldn't choose the less compatible path of life and death reincarnation when she turned to cultivating immortality; instead, she would choose a path that was more compatible with her own personality.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Qinghe's smile deepened.
With the blessing of my three meridians, even if Chen Beiwu has mediocre talent on the path of life and death, he can still become an unparalleled genius.
Yu Yue couldn't help but retort.
Qinghe smiled and ignored Yuyue's angry words.
The gap between geniuses can sometimes be greater than the gap between a human and a dog.
Even a peerless genius who can only achieve greatness through the blessing of three meridians cannot compare to an ancient Dao seed that is naturally in harmony with the Great Dao!
"The Heavenly Ruins are located deep within the Jade Universe Path, and are constantly shrouded in void turbulence, making them inaccessible even to fifth-order Yuan Ships."
On the other side, the sect leader's gaze swept over Chen Beiwu and the other three, his tone calm: "Be careful not to resist, I will take you there."
As soon as he finished speaking, ripples spread through the space, and the surrounding scenery shifted and changed wildly.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Beiwu felt a sudden dizziness, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself in a strange space.
Countless tiny crystals floated still in the void, like solidified stars. Some crystals rotated and moved with the air currents in the void, emitting the ancient energy that existed before the separation of heaven and earth.
In the distance, there is a stone platform formed by a natural solitary peak.
The stone platform was not large, covering an area of about 100 feet. An old man with gray hair stood there resting with his eyes closed. Beside the old man were five cultivators with respectful expressions.
One of them, Chen Beiwu, looked quite familiar; he was none other than Che Zhengyuan, the chief of Yuyu Cave Heaven.
As for the other four, they were all cultivators with unfathomable auras, most likely the True Venerables of the Jade Universe Cave Heaven.
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes, his voice low but crystal clear: "These four are the true prodigies of the Jade Purity generation?"
"That's right."
The sect leader nodded and looked at Chen Beiwu and the other three: "This is the deputy sect leader of Yuyu Cave Heaven, whose honorific title is Xu Jing. He is responsible for guarding the gate of Tianxu. You can call him Senior Xu."
"Greetings, Senior Xu."
Chen Beiwu and the other three bowed slightly.
"Old Xu, I'm going to catch up with an old friend. I'm entrusting my sect's immortal seedling to you."
Before he finished speaking, the sect leader's figure slowly disappeared.
True Venerable Xu Jing shook his head, his gaze sweeping over Yu Zhaohua and the other three, finally settling on Chen Beiwu, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Chen Beiwu remained unmoved despite noticing the scrutinizing gaze.
The next second, True Venerable Xujing sighed and bluntly said, "To miss out on a Dao Seed like you, who is naturally compatible with the Great Dao of the Void, it seems that most of the juniors in the Jade Universe Admissions Office are just empty-handed vagrants."
The Jade Universe Cave Heaven's most powerful immortal technique is the Void Great Dao created based on the Chaos Bird.
Therefore, before each Immortal Alliance College Entrance Examination, the Jade Universe Cave Heaven Admissions Office would send Nascent Soul True Monarchs to make an exception and admit Immortal Sect prodigies who were quite talented in the Void Dao. As a result, they missed out on geniuses like Chen Beiwu who were born to be compatible with the Void Dao.
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhaohua and the other two remained calm, showing no particular surprise.
With the Jade Moon Protector showing special favor, and the Jade Universe Cave Heaven Deputy Sect Leader also valuing him, it seems quite plausible.
However, they still felt somewhat uneasy, as if they had been completely overshadowed by Chen Beiwu.
As for Che Zhengyuan, he pursed his lips and looked at Chen Beiwu with a rather complicated expression.
Junior brother, so you were defeated by this person?
Beside Che Zhengyuan, a beautiful female cultivator showed an expression of great interest.
That's right, Senior Sister Lin, I'm no match for her.
Che Zhengyuan took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and transmitted his thoughts telepathically.
"To receive such praise from the sect leader, this person's talent is so high that it would be a rare sight even in the Jade Palace Grotto-Heaven. Zheng Yuan, your defeat is not unjust." Another Nascent Soul True Venerable commented.
Che Zhengyuan did not reply to this, but simply greeted Chen Beiwu.
"Before entering the Heavenly Ruins, I need to test your compatibility."
At this point, True Venerable Xujing waved his sleeve, and nine jade stones the size of a thumb appeared in his palm: "These are Heavenly Ruins Stones. Before entering the Heavenly Ruins, you can inject your magic power into these jade stones to test your compatibility with the Heavenly Ruins Stele."
"This test may not be accurate, but it has some reference value. If you think it's a waste of time, you can skip the test and directly select a Heavenly Book Ruins Stele to move."
Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's heart stirred.
This is a rare opportunity for him to see which Dao he is in harmony with, apart from the Primordial Dao.
There are quite a few cultivators who share Chen Beiwu's thoughts, and even those who have already chosen the Great Dao to cultivate have no objections.
"Let's begin, one at a time," said Venerable Xujing.
The first to be tested was a beautiful female cultivator who was implicitly the leader among the Jade Palace cultivators.
"Buzz".
As magic power was injected, the Heavenly Ruins Stone immediately changed, transforming into a jet-black crystal.
The True Venerable of Emptiness picked up the stone and weighed it to make sure that its magical power was full. Then he casually took out an ancient mirror.
The ancient mirror, its surface devoid of light, rested in the palm of the Void Serenity True Venerable. Then, the mirror surface suddenly changed, splitting into fourteen parts, slowly reflecting the Five Great Heavenly Books and the Nine Great Ruins Stele.
When the black crystal is placed on the mirror, the mirror changes again, reflecting the Jade Book, one of the Five Great Heavenly Books, and the Void Stele, one of the Nine Great Ruins Steles.
"The Jade Universe Heavenly Book has a compatibility score of 4.5, and the Void Extreme Stele has a compatibility score of 6.1. Not bad," Venerable Xu Jingzhen praised.
Upon hearing this, Che Zhengyuan showed a look of awe, and the beautiful female cultivator also revealed a gentle smile.
"Eek?" (Is this a good grade?)
Zhiling's eyes flickered slightly, keenly sensing the change in the atmosphere.
"Of course, this compatibility is already exaggerated enough," Chen Beiwu transmitted his voice.
The Dao is the ultimate state of things; when things are in harmony with the Dao, they become mutually compatible.
Those whose natures align with yours will not be rejected by the Great Way, and vice versa.
As far as Chen Beiwu knew, those whose compatibility was less than one point were basically destined to have no chance of comprehending the Heavenly Book Ruins Stele.
Those whose affinity score is below 3 are qualified to cultivate the Great Dao of the Heavenly Book Ruins Stele, but their future achievements will be meager, and they will have almost no hope of using the Heavenly Book Ruins Stele as a foundation for refining their Void.
Those with a compatibility score higher than 4 are considered to be unpolished gems in the corresponding Great Dao, and are expected to reach the peak of the Divine Transformation realm in the future.
Those with a compatibility score higher than 5 are considered unparalleled geniuses in their corresponding Dao aptitude, and are expected to reach the realm of cultivation giants in the future, with a glimmer of hope for touching the Void Refinement stage.
Those with a compatibility score higher than 6 are considered to be ancient talents in their corresponding Dao. As long as they do not perish halfway through their cultivation journey, they are likely to become giants in the cultivation world, and their chances of reaching the Void Refinement stage in the future are several times greater than those of peerless geniuses.
"Huh?" (If a compatibility score of 6 is this powerful, then wouldn't those with a compatibility score of 7 or higher be able to soar to the heavens?)
The golden egg's divine sense sighed.
It's not that simple. Do you think those with a compatibility score higher than 7 are like cabbages on the roadside?
Chen Beiwu rubbed Jin Dan's head, feeling rather speechless.
Even if his authority is insufficient and the information he can access within the Jade Purity Sect is limited, making it difficult for him to fully access the likes of the Refining Void Dao Venerable, one thing is certain.
That is, those with a compatibility score higher than 7 points are considered to be immortal seeds in the corresponding Great Dao aptitude, far beyond the reach of the rumored Void Refinement aptitude of the Immortal Alliance.
Next, under Chen Beiwu's watchful eye, all the cultivators of Yuyu Cave Heaven completed the compatibility test.
However, apart from the beautiful female cultivator whom Che Zhengyuan called Senior Sister Lin, no one else had a compatibility score higher than 6.
Even the chief of Jade Universe Cave Heaven only has a compatibility score of 4.1 for the Jade Universe Heavenly Book and 5.3 for the Void Extreme Stele, which is a huge gap compared to that Nascent Soul True Venerable.
"That's fine."
The Venerable Master Xujing was not surprised by this result.
While the chief of the grotto is certainly good, the position is not passed down through generations.
Unless one is exceptionally outstanding, they are certainly no match for those who have already achieved the level of a fully-fledged Celestial Transformation God.
After completing the test, Lin Yunlan did not immediately enter Tianxu. Instead, she paused and turned her head to look at Chen Beiwu, who was not far away.
Silence speaks louder than words!
Lin Yunlan did not speak, but True Venerable Xujing was used to the temperaments of the sect's prodigies, so how could he not know what the former was thinking? He was simply curious and wanted to see with his own eyes what the prodigy he had praised was really like.
Seeing this scene, Che Zhengyuan's thoughts were extremely complicated.
It was precisely because he was defeated in the Cave Heaven Grand Competition, which damaged the reputation of the Cave Heaven, that Senior Sister Lin cared so much about the Chief of Yuqing.
Noticing the subtle gazes of the crowd, Chen Beiwu remained calm, extended his hand in a gesture of respect, and allowed the more senior True Monarch Su Miao and True Monarch Yue Shan to proceed with the testing.
Before attaining the Nascent Soul stage, he had taken many courses from True Lord Su Miao and True Lord Yue Shan and received a lot of guidance. At this moment, he naturally had to be humble and let the elders go first.
"Buzz!"
As the ancient realm fluctuated, the voice of True Venerable Xujing slowly resounded.
"The compatibility score of the Taiyin Heavenly Book is 5.5, and the compatibility score of the Sheng Sheng Stele is 5.9." The Venerable Xu Jing smiled calmly.
It seems that not only the Yuyu Cave Heaven, but also the Taiyin Cave Heaven and Xuanyuan Cave Heaven's admissions offices have some oversights.
Su Miaozhenjun felt relieved and revealed a satisfied smile.
With such compatibility, her aptitude on the Great Dao of Creation is second only to that of the Ancient Dao Seeds, which is already quite outstanding.
"Zhouhua Stele's physiognomy score is 3.6, Huncheng Stele's physiognomy score is 6.0, and Liangyi Stele's physiognomy score is 6.3."
Upon hearing Venerable Xu Jing's words, all the cultivators present subtly changed their expressions and looked at Yue Shan, who remained calm. Even Chen Beiwu was surprised.
With such a high level of spiritual quality, how could True Lord Yueshan not be able to cultivate the Primordial Immortal Technique?
Furthermore, Yue Shan Zhenjun's aptitude in the Yin-Yang Dao is even greater than that in the Yuanshi Dao, so why did he choose to earn the title of Ban Shan Zhenjun?
Could it be that he lacked talent in this area when he first embarked on his cultivation journey, and was held back by the sect?
